SL 2014

I didn't post a starting picture :nono: It really doesn't matter since I haven't retained anything. I thought my regimen was good and I would get some nice growth and retention but I didn't. It was actually the opposite. I ended up having a set back in November and I have spent from November until now nursing my hair back to health.

I originally said I would reach SL by April :look: Don't know where I got that from. I am shooting for December.

I'm just going to use my last curlformer sets and yesterday's rollerset as my starting pic. And then hopefully in July I will have a nice update picture for comparison.

My hair is still between EL and NL depending on the section. Let's see what the spring brings.

I use YHYC organic hair care products. I'm tender headed and I have a sensitive scalp so their products have worked well for me so far. The customer service is decent too.

Faith I think you've gained thickness and some growth. It may not be drastic but it looks like to me you have from previous pics you've posted if I remember them correctly.

It is a bit thicker. Maybe some growth but yeah that November set back got me. Didn't retain two inches and probably going to lose another inch or so before it's over.:sad:

But I will hang in there and hope to come out on the other side.
 
Put my hair in flat twist. Pulling out my splitender this weekend and doing a protein treatment. Maybe I can shutdown this breakage.

Well, I agree with HPG. I I think your hair is thicker and longer. It definitely looks healthier.

Faith it is only April. Things will start getting better as the weather improves! You need to claim growth and health for the summer! You are getting there. I am getting there.
We are in better shape than last year. We are in tweak mode. We got this!

Thank you. I'm just a bit nervous. I'm stuck having a lot of breakage and I'm afraid to be hopeful. It seems like it's getting better but what if it's s trick? Just having one of those weeks.

Yup, we all have those weeks. Do not lose hope. Aren't you in a better place this year than last year at this time? Yes, you are.

It isn't a trick. It is all coming together. :)

Remember how well you filled in your crown? It took nurturing and patience. Look at you now.

You know where the breakage is from so that is half the battle. Once that is sorted you will feel better. You could do a deep trim, small trims,or splitender more frequently.

I think you are right. Hide your hair for a while. We all need breaks from our hair.

Thank You. I go through these phases. Have good weeks and then I bottom out :lol: I really want to do a deep trim but I only have 4 inches of hair in the back which is already difficult to manage. And I'm not feeling extensions or wigs at the moment. If I don't have a breakthrough in April though, I will have to put in some extensions or wig it or something.

I am going to do more frequent protein treatments and use the splitender more often as you suggested.

I put my hair into flat twists. If I can find just one flat twists style that works for the back of my hair I am going to ride it until the wheels fall off.
 
Hey ladies. I took my weave out but left the cornrows in. That hair shed too much. I'm done with aliexpress. Anywhoo. I have alot of newgrowth or it looks that way because of my hair type. Either way I'm ready to feel my scalp again and wear my hair for a while. In July I will be putting in crochet braids using Senegalese twist hair so that will be my giving birth style. I will have a pic for y'all in about 2.5 weeks after a trim and touchup. faithVA hang in there honey. You are my hairspiration and everything you want for your hair is coming your way. And that goes for all of us!
 
So I'm not tempted to cut too much hair I bought me a short wig. Please excuse my preggo face. No makeup and my nose is super huge now!

:look: That post had guilt written all over it :lachen:

My post was really just trying to say that HanaKuroi told me so. You need a Woo Sah girl :lol:
 
Well, it looks like I am going to have to leave this challenge. It seems like my hair isn't growing at all. I probably won't be SL until 2015. But, I will cheer everyone on from the sidelines!

Don't leave. My hair isn't growing either. Maybe we will both have a growth spurt.

Took so long to do my hair today. Had to go through each section and smooth the ends out. I think I need a trim. I have not had one in awhile..not sure if my ends are chewed up from doing twist outs or are split for some reason.

Not really sure how to deal with some of my hair being coarse and some being fine. My hair is growing but man it doesn't seem like it. I am hoping I will see some kinda results by 2years no relaxer date in Dec.

I will be a year natural in June and I made a lot of progress but uhg. It's getting to the point where it's just getting bigger and splitter.
